Message: <blockquote data-quote="anteros_gold" data-source="post: 9547258" data-attributes="member: 7048695">I am so excited about Legend In The Mist!!   I honestly thought I was done buying any more RPG's.  Like, I had found my favorite books, spent years studying my favorite mechanics, and finally thought I had things narrowed down to my top 3.  Legend of the Mist looks like it could blow those out of the water.  I've already made a shelf on my wall to give it a place of honor.  Since their cyberpunk version of the game had already come out when the LitM kickstarter was going on, I signed up for the PDF to get a preview on what the rules for LitM would be like.  There were already youtube videos and a playable demo that gave me overview and hints enough to get me excited, but I wanted to get into the fine details.  So I emailed the company and asked them to let me late-back the PDF and they did, and sent me the PDF.  I think it was an "mostly done playtest" at the time with some art changes pending.  But, oh wow, I fell for the game hard!  Cyberpunk, and Tokyo specifically didn't appeal to me much, mostly because I feel all my players would know way more about Tokyo and Japanese stuff than I would, but I fell in love with the system and the excellent execution.  I immediately emailed them asking for more money so I can get the physical book.  I'm glad I did.  I've played in a couple of Otherscape games so far and really liked it.  But it's just tying me over until I can get my hands on Legend!   Legend In The Mist feels like it's going to hit a sweet spot in my favorite mechanics and systems.  I've looked into City of Mist, Son of Oak's flagship game, the ancestor to the Otherscape and Legend In The Mist.  While I'm not crazy about the the concept, the execution of the product is amazing.  It looks genuinely fun and engaging.  The only reason I haven't bought physical books for that too, is I just can't see myself wanting to go back to a game with PbtA moves anymore.  Not after seeing Otherscape's effect system in-play.  Anyway, I'm really psyched about LitM, and it's gotten me excited about getting into roleplaying again.  The author not only has a history of making great games that people love, but he seems to be very familiar with the books I like to read and the anime my players like to watch, so I think his setting book will be amazing, too.  I went all in for the kickstarter bundle.  I've gotten involved with RPG communities again, and I've started to look into online roleplaying and VTTs.  I just got a new camera today and learned how use my old one to make a little "dice cam" for an online Discord game.  And all this time, I've been kind of assuming that very few people knew about Legend In The Mist, and that I would have to get all my local players into it just like I tried to do with Fate a few years ago.  The fact that so many other people are also looking forward to this game has me excited that I'll actually be able to find groups to play with, or at least have a slightly easier time recruiting my locals.  Plus, like I said, getting into online roleplaying for the first time.  So far I've played two sessions of Legend in the Mist and two more sessions of Otherscape.  Looking forward to many more in 2025!</blockquote>
